Doormobile wanted

Post by Bob750 » Thu Jun 21, 2018 7:07 pm

Hi all
Would anyone know of or point me in the direction of a Land Rover Series Door mobile for sale at all
Owned land rovers all my adult life and now is the time to try to get hold of one of these classics.
Looking for one that is pretty much sorted really
Your help would be much appreciated
Best regards
Bob

I think AlexB is just about finished with a restoration and will probably have one for sale.

It will certainly be well sorted as it's not his first restoration :cheers:

Send him a PM just in case he misses this post.

Oh, and it's Dormobile, not Doormobile :tiphat:

You might also want to look at a Carawagon to see if that might suit you.

Cheers,
Robin.

Hi,
Bea would be a first-class vehicle, the oldest known, new chassis!

However I've had the opportunity to compare a 2.25L petrol Dormobile and my 2.6L sixpot and the extra torque of the six is really desirable for the extra weight hauled in a Dormobile and for hilly terrain typically encountered on holiday.

A Dormobile is being offered on the Series 2 club now:

Hi Jeremy
I have been fortunate enough to have purchased Bea from Phil recently. I am honoured to become the new Custodian and look forward to caring for her as Phil has done all these years
Thanks for the message. I will of course stay in touch with the club
Regards
Bob
